Peoria council candidate events for this week

Two events didn’t make it onto the list of upcoming events related to the April 9 election.

That, of course, is because the candidate and neighborhood association in question didn’t send in their info in enough time to get included in our weekly print-and-online Ballot Box rundown.

But we’re nothing if not obliging here at 1 News Plaza. We’ll happily put your information online where at least some people can still see it. (For those of you who want to go whole-hog and reach the most people, be certain to send your info to Mickey Wieland — mwieland@pjstar.com — by noon the Friday before the week of your event. You can also fax the material to 686-3296. To confirm receipt, call 686-3246.

Here are the other events:

* The University East Neighborhood Association will host a candidate forum between 2nd District City Council candidates Barbara Van Auken and Chuck Grayeb beginning at 7 p.m. Thursday at 1106 N. Underhill.

* Casey Johnson, candidate for the 5th District council seat, will host a “Coffee with Casey” event from 8:30 – 10:00 a.m. Saturday at Apple’s Bakery to meet with voters and discuss issues in the 5th District.
